Definitions

  • This invention concerns a central hauling pool, for instance arranged in a fishing vessel.
  • a hauling pool is described for example in document DA 108278C.
  • the central hauling pool is used for setting out fishing tackle and hauling in fishing tackle and catch.
  • the central hauling pool may also be used for other equipment for use in the sea.
  • a long-line hauling pool an essentially tubular vertical aperture in the fishing vessel, with the main part of the tube open at its lower end towards the sea, and open at its upper end towards the free air or a room in the ship.
  • a central hauling pool gives considerably improved working conditions for the man working at the rail roller who avoids standing exposed.
  • the man working by the rail roller must be present by the central hauling pool to guide the fish in over the rail roller and into the crucifier (the device removing the fish from the hook) section of the vessel, and, not least, to.gaff fish having fallen off the line.
  • US-patent 4 176 614 describes one possible solution to change the resonance period of the central hauling pool by closing it against the free air.
  • the American solution may be useful if one shall perform operations with wireline or drillstring through the central hauling pool, but it is not possible to haul fish through an air tight or almost air tight opening around a line. Further, the pressure variations in such an air tight chamber would be harmful to the crew (the man working at the rail roller).
  • US 4 176 614 describes that the central hauling pool may be pressurized or under pressurized in order to change the resonance period of the water column, partly in that the air chamber would act as an air spring with higher or lower pressure, partly in that the length of the water column would be changed to longer or shorter height.
  • US-patent 4 452 165 gives a solution by arranging or building in large tanks in semisubmersible platforms.
  • the tanks have the waterline standing inside, with apertures to free air at the top and to the free sea at the bottom, via canals with considerably smaller cross-section than the tanks.
  • One advantage of this invention is to extend the resonance period of the water column in the central hauling pool to become much longer than the resonance period of the vessel, so that it does not coincide with the periods of dominating sea wave amplitudes.
  • Another advantage of the invention is to reduce the wave amplitude in the central hauling pool both in consideration of the crew's working conditions, and to reduce the risk of loosing catch by tosses and local currents.
  • a third advantage of the invention is to transfer the hauling of the long-line-catch to a sheltered place inside the long-line-fishing vessel.
  • main tube may be elliptical, and from fishing considerations should be inclined slightly rearwards with respect to the vertical line, so that the lower mouth is situated astern of the upper mouth of the main tube.
  • the central hauling pool 1 is, in a preferred embodiment, arranged somewhat astern of midship due to the heave (vertical) motion being least there.
  • Figure 1 shows the principle for the central hauling pool 1 itself with an essentially vertical main tube or duct 2.
  • a tube transition 5 constitutes the connection between the main tube 2 and an widened upper tube part 3 of the central hauling pool 1.
  • the tube transition 5 may be straight, horizontal or funnel-shaped.
  • Figure 2 shows that the main axis 21 of the main tube 2 may be slightly inclined towards the stern, with a lower mouth 8 towards the sea arranged somewhat astern of the upper mouth 10.
  • Figure 2 shows that it is practical to go towards, but slightly over the line, so that the line is hauled from the astern direction with an angle deviating approximately 17 degrees from the vertical line. It is possible to control the speed and course of the vessel in order for the long-line to enter approximately in centre of the main tube 2.
  • Figure 2b and c shows cross-sections of the main tube 2 at the lower mouth 8 and the upper mouth 10, respectively.
  • the main tube 2 is elliptical with the long half-axis of the ellipse essentially along the vessel, and the length of the long half axis about 1 metre, and with the smaller half-axis length about 0,75 metre.
  • Other ellipse shapes may be used, within the axis relations 1:1 (circular tube 2) and 3:1 (sideways flattened tube 2).
  • Figures 2d and e shows possible horizontal sections of the widened tube part 3.
  • Figure 1 shows the tube transitions 5 with a funnel shape.
  • a scuttle 30 is shown, pivoted on a hinge 32 arranged near the upper mouth 10 of the main tube 2, reaching into the upper tube part 3.
  • a hinge 32 By rotating this plate away from that part of the bottom of the tube transition 5 where the hinge 32 is arranged, one may change the effective area of the water surface of the upper tube part 3.
  • This may be useful if the vessel is to be exposed to large seas of the same long period as the resonance period of the central hauling pool according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 also displays the preferred path for the long-line during the hauling of the catch.
  • the main tube 2 has been given this angle with the vertical.
  • Other angles may be more appropriate e.g. if it is possible to increase the vessel's speed during hauling.
  • Figure 4 displays a horizontal cross-section of the upper part 3 of the central hauling pool 1, with a man working at the rail roller, situated on a shelf by the rail roller 15 where the long-line is to pass inside to the crucifier section.
  • Figure 5 shows in a Cartesian coordinate system a generalized amplitude-wave spectrum for the waves inside a central hauling pool 1.
  • the graphs show that a central hauling pool without an upper widened part may have a wave spectrum with a large amplitude with a period of about 5-6 seconds, which may be the resonance frequency of the ship, or as for the waves outside the ship, but with the invention these amplitude tops are damped and displaced outwards towards longer wavelengths, out of the region of the vessel's resonance period.
  • the area of the water is expanded in the upper part of the central hauling pool, so that a large volume must pass through the lower narrower part of the main tube in order to slightly displace the water level in the upper expanded part.
  • turbulence arises in the tube transition part 5. The turbulence may lead to dissipation of energy and finally to-a weak heating of the water, practically undetectable.
  • the resonance period of the central hauling pool 1 will be extended considerably when it is widened in the upper part to a larger area below the waterline. Additional damping of the wave amplitude could have been achieved by closing the air column's upper part towards the atmosphere, but this is not recommended in consideration of the fishermen's health.
  • the invention is initially made for fishing vessels. It may be advantageous to use the invention in connection with hauling of fishing nets, thus with another angle or direction of the axis of the main tube 2 with respect to the vertical. However it would be possible to use the invention in connection with other marine operations, e.g. for oil drilling or oil production by means of single hulled vessels, where calm sea conditions in the central hauling pool would be advantageous.
  • Examples of this may be oceanographic vessels with transducers arranged on a cable, seismic exploration vessels with seismic streamers which are launched and hauled, ordinary vessels which drop or lift their anchor, and generally every vessel that usually sets and hauls equipment from the sea whether the vessel is still-lying in the sea or running in the sea, and where there may be an advantage in having calm conditions in the sea space where the equipment is cuts the sea surface.
